Re sudafed and thyroid: I take sudafed (no antihistamine) w/o any hyper reaction, just fyi. I don't take it often, though, mainly just if I have a cold. And about four or five years ago, synthroid for hypothyroidism was prescribed (runs in family; my mother was one of four sister who were hypothyroid) and I felt it didn't do much for me. Then a friend told me that her internist had found that his patients do better on a product, also a prescription med, called Armour Thyroid. So I asked for my next rx to be that, and have taken it for over two years now, and I feel great on it. Which I didn't on synthroid. My internist at first said that because it was a natural product instead of a synthetic, he didn't feel as confident that the tablets would be precisely consistent. But it works much better for me and now he prescribes it for other patients. The dose of Armour Thyroid I take is 120 mg a day. The dose of Synthroid I was taking was 0.1 mg a day. So those are equivalents. You and penni might consider giving it a try. For me, the difference was clear, and I believe it was not a placebo effect, because the improvement has lasted for two and a half years. The Armour product wouldn't be good for vegetarians.
